Not in God's Plan....today

1/24/15 2:10pm-- We just had a consultation with the Dr., unfortunately, the donor had some undisclosed medical concerns. The Transplant Team did not feel the organs were Class "A" organs and has just decided to wait for better organs for Belinda. So for now...the surgery is off and we will be heading home.
I had just prayed, about an hour earlier, that God's will be done and if this wasn't His timing to take it away. We are in awe at the works of our Amazing God.
Trusting Him, and thanking all of you for your prayers.  Peace to all.

still waiting

1/24/15 1:30 pm Just a quick update.  Thanks for all your prayers.  We are still waiting.  Belinda is doing well and is ready to go.  The medical Team still hasn't confirmed a match to the donor but we are proceeding as it is.  The surgeon was in about an hour ago and discussed the procedure.  This will be an 8-10 hour surgery.  Once we get the green light this will go well into the night. Please continue to pray for the medical Team, the donor family, and for Belinda.  We rest in God's hand and are at peace.

At Hopkins

1/24/15 8am- We made it to Johns Hopkins at 3:30 am, leaving York we had about 4" of fresh snow but the roads were in good shape. Once we passed Hunt Valley the snow was pretty much done.
Belinda has been admitted, lab work and xrays are now complete. We are told she will be headed to OR anywhere between 10-noon.  The surgery is very involved and may last 8-12 hours.
They are still testing and mapping the donor organs to make sure everything is a match; however, we are proceeding as it is. If everything moves on this schedule surgery should be wrapping up by 8 pm.
We are at peace and resting in the palm of God's Hand. Thanks for your prayers

It is time!!

This is the announcement we have all been in prayer for--We just got our call and are headed to Hopkins for Belinda's transplant! Please pray God's peace over the donor's family--Please pray for the Medical Team, for wisdom and endurance as this will be a very long procedure for them--Pray for Belinda, that her body will be strong and receptive to the new organs--Pray for Sara, Carly, & I that we can have peace and trust God in this journey.  Continually praise God as we all journey together.  He is good and has provided absolutely everything we have needed! We truly rest in His hands.  Proverbs 3:5-6 has been our foundation.
